MULTIMAT GEOMAT

Provided that the quality of soil is capable of sustaining and preserving organic material, the planting of vegetation is a well-established means of preventing soil erosion on slopes and embankments and there is a wide choice of herbaceous plants and shrubs that are suitable for this purpose.

However, during the initial phase of planting, the topsoil is easily subjected to washout and soil erosion during heavy rainfall, its consequential rilling and by strong winds.


Such conditions can result in significant loss of soil and formation of moderately deep furrows. All this occurs because of the barrenness and fragility of the vegetation during its initial phase of growth because the root system has insufficient time to become established in substrate.


TENAX MultiMat 30 and 100 erosion control geo-mats are three-dimensional structures, manufactured from three polypropylene meshes that have been extruded and subsequently oriented. The products have a high tensile strength and low unit weight which makes the geo-mats ideally suited for installing on steep and very long slopes.


Installation can be carried out by unskilled labour simply by un-rolling the TENAX MultiMat onto the slope, fixing in place with MultiMat Staples and covering with topsoil. Grass growth can then be established either by hand seeding or hydro-seeding.

Once installed the bi-dimensional structures of the geo-mats protect the layer of topsoil and anchors the roots of the grass to the soil matrix, thus helping to minimise both the effect of rain impact and soil migration due to surface runoff.
